Why do you need a job description

This document is of great importance, both for the management of the enterprise and for the accountants themselves. For the first, it allows you to competently coordinate and manage the work of subordinates, for the second - to clearly understand the work functionality and responsibility. In addition, in the event of disputes that require resolution in court, the job description can serve as evidence of the presence or absence of guilt on the part of the employee or employer. The more carefully and accurately the requirements for the employee, as well as his rights, responsibilities and other items of the job description, are spelled out, the better.

Basic rules for the job description of an accountant

There is no unified form of this document, so enterprises can develop an accountant's job description on their own. Due to the lack of an approved model, at different enterprises, employees in the same positions may perform slightly different duties, although the main functions are still standard and similar.

The document is divided into four main parts:

  • "General Provisions",
  • "Responsibilities"
  • "Rights",
  • "Responsibility",

but, if desired, the management of the enterprise can add other sections.

A job description is drawn up in one copy, and if there are several accountants in the organization, then copies of it are printed out, in an amount equal to the number of accountants. Each accountant whose functions correspond to the official duties prescribed in the document must put his signature under it. In the same way, each document must be certified by the employee who is responsible for compliance with the rules and functionality prescribed in the job description and the head of the organization.

Drafting an accountant job description

The upper right part of the document is reserved for approval by the head of the enterprise. Here you should enter his position, name of the organization, last name, first name, patronymic, and also leave a line for signature with mandatory decoding. Then the name of the document is written in the center of the line.

Main part of instructions

The next step is to add qualification requirements that an accountant must comply with (specialization, education, additional professional training), as well as length of service and work experience, in the presence of which an employee can be admitted to perform work functions.

Further in the same section, you need to list all the regulations, rules, orders with which the accountant must be familiar: the standards and forms of documents adopted in the organization, the rules for maintaining accounts and correspondence, the organization of accounting workflow, the rules for safety, labor protection and internal routine, etc.

Second section

Second section "Responsibilities of an Accountant" relates directly to the functions that are assigned to the accountant. They may be different at different enterprises, but they should always be described in as much detail as possible. If there are several accountants in the enterprise and they have different functionalities, it is necessary to carefully ensure that they are not duplicated in official duties.

Third section

Chapter "Rights" includes the powers vested in the accountant for the effective performance of his work. Here you can separately indicate his right to interact with the management of the organization and other employees, as well as representatives of other structures if such a need arises. Rights should be described in the same way as duties - accurately and clearly.

Fourth section

In chapter "Responsibility" specific violations of the accountant are established, for which internal sanctions and penalties are provided. In one of the paragraphs, it is necessary to indicate that the applied measures of influence comply with the framework of the law and the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

Fifth section

The last section of the job description fits "Working conditions"- in particular, how they are determined (for example, by internal labor regulations), as well as some features, if any.

In conclusion, the document must be agreed with the employee who is responsible for compliance with the rules and regulations prescribed in the accountant's job description (this may be the immediate supervisor, head of the personnel department, etc.). Here you need to enter his position, name of the organization, last name, first name, patronymic, as well as put a signature and be sure to decipher it.

Please indicate below information about the accountant:

  • his last name, first name, patronymic (in full),
